The god of the christians and the god of the Muslims are not the same.
Allah is a false god, and Islam is a false religion which was created by Satan to lead people away from the truth about Jesus Christ, who is the son of God.
Satan will do anything to keep you out of heaven, but do not give in. Follow God, and he will protect you from his lies and give you truth.
Believe in the only living God, and accept his son as your saviour for your sins and you will be saved. Salvation is found in no other. Get your sin problem sorted out by Jesus, because good works do not cancel sins.

Actually the God of the Jews, Christians and Muslims is THE SAME GOD.
He is the God of Abraham (Ibraham).
The Torah, The Bible AND The Quran all begin (IN ARABIC) with the words "In the beginning was the word and the word was God, and he created all the heavens and all the earth" (Subject to various translations).
Jesus is mentioned in the Quoran.
The Torah (Old Testament) is mentioned in the bible.
We should just stop fighting over who God is - he's the same thing.

Allah is just another word for God, so if I spoke arabic I would say I believe in Allah but I speak english so I say I believe in God. (it's the same God)
I have read the Qu'ran.
Edit:out of curiousity I wonder what rapidfire would have someone who speaks arabic call God?

Everyone has different beliefs.
I, believe in Jesus Christ. And The Holy Bible.
Others believe in flying monkeys, or worship rocks.
Still, sadly, some believe in nothing.

In terms of the Shari'ah the two words, Imaan and Islam , are inextricably interwoven. The Shar'i meaning of the one is incomplete without the meaning of the other. The two terms are complementary. The one is a necessary corollary of the other. The existence of the one is dependent on the existence of the other. Negation of the one implies the automatic negation of the other. A proper understanding of Imaan is, therefore, possible only by a study of the Shar'i definition of both words and their interrelationship to one another.
Literal Meaning
Imaan literally means:
to verify, to accept, to attest with the heart .
The acceptance by the heart with conviction is termed Imaan in the literal sense. Hence, Imaan is a state or an internal ( Baatini ) condition.
Islaam literally means:
to submit oneself to another; to make oneself lowly in the presence of another .
In the literal meanings of the two words have their share in the Shar'i definition of Imaan and Islaam . Basing the technical (i.e. the Shar'i ) meanings on the literal meanings. Imaam Abu Muhammad Mas'ud Baghawi Rahmatullah Alay says:
?Nabi (SAW) defined Islaam as the name for external acts and Imaan as the name of the internal beliefs.?
Technical ( Shar'i ) Meaning
For all practical purposes, Imaan and Islaam mean one and the same thing. Allamah Taftaazaani Rahmatullah Alay in sharhul Aqaa-id states:
?Imaan and Islaam are on thing.?
Imaam Subki Rahmatullah Alay explaining the interrelationship between Imaan and Islaam , says that although Islaam applies to outward submission inward Imaan is a prerequisite or a condition (shart) for its ( Islaam 's) validity. Similarly, although Imaan applies to inward submission ( inqiyaad baatin ), outward submission is essential for it.
It will now be clear that Islaam minus Imaan and Imaan without Islaam are of no consideration in the Shari'ah . Allamah Zubaidi rahmatullah Alay states that the Ashaa'irah * and Hanafiyah are unanimous on this view.
The unity of the Shar'i conception of the two words is amply borne out by the following statements which appear in Sharhul Aqaa`id :
?In the Shari'ah it is not proper, to proclaim the same person to be a Mu'min but not a Muslim or a Muslim but not a Mu'min.?
?The one is inseparable from the other because of the unity of conception.?
In short Imaan cannot be divorced from Islaam nor Islaam from Imaan .
The accepted and popular definition of Imaan is:
?Acceptance with the heart and the declaration with the tongue.?
Thus, in terms of the Shari'ah , Imaan (viz. that Imaan requisite for proclaiming one a Muslim) consists of two fundamentals:
1. To accept with the heart.
To declare with the tongue what has been accepted with the heart.
Should anyone of these two fundamentals be lacking, one will not be called a Muslim in the terminology of the Shari'ah .
Difference Between The Two Fundamentals
Of the two fundamentals of Imaan or Islaam , acceptance with the heart ( Tasdeeq bil Qalb ) is the primary one, having greater importance, than declaration with the tongue ( Iqraar bil Lissaan ). There is absolutely no possibility of the first fundamental, viz. Tasdeeq bil Qalb , ever being waived whereas the second fundamental, viz. Iqraar bil Lissan , can at times be waived, e.g. the circumstance of torture. Under torture concealing one's Imaan by refraining from declaration with the tongue or by rejecting with the tongue will be permissible on condition that acceptance with the heart remains intact.
The Effect Of The Existence Of Only One Fundamental
One who fulfills the first fundamental of Tasdeeq bil Qalb (acceptance with the heart) but refrains from the second fundamental of Iqraar bil Lisaan (declaration with the tongue) will be a Mu'min by Allah. However, in terms of the Shari'ah and in relation to this world he will not be called a Mu'min or Muslim. On the other hand, one who subscribes to Iqraar bil Lisaan while refraining from Tasdeeq bil Qalb will be a Kaafir by Allah , and in relation to the world he will be a Mu'min in the same category as a Munaafiq .

I've read the Qur'an. Interesting book, but sorry, I didn't find it any more convincing than the Bible or any other religious text I've read.
